Summary

What do you do when life leaves you desperate for hope? How do you find redemption when all you see is brokenness?Angie Howell knows these questions all too well. On the verge of her third divorce and pregnant with her eighth child, Angie found herself in a place of deep pain and loss. Shortly after the birth of her daughter, Jade, Angie sensed something was wrong. What followed was a long and difficult journey of medical tests and diagnoses, leading her into the complex world of parenting a child with special needs.In the midst of uncertainty and while still a lukewarm Christian, Angie encountered an unexpected moment of divine intervention. Her cousin, along with his biker friends, came to pray over her and Jade. In that powerful moment, something inside Angie shifted—she experienced a miracle not in her circumstances, but in her heart. It was the beginning of a profound transformation.Angie shares her story of struggle, faith, and redemption in her book, **Jewel of Heaven: A Beautiful Story of Brokenness, Redemption, and the Power of a Biker’s Prayer**. She calls herself a misfit, and through her writing, she vulnerably reveals how an unconventional group of believers helped her find hope and healing.In this episode, Davey sits down with Angie to talk about how the true miracle in our lives is often the change God brings to our hearts through pain, how He uses unlikely people to speak life and hope into us, and why our stories are never meant for us alone—they’re meant to bring healing to others too.If you've ever felt too broken for redemption, this conversation will remind you: no matter how far gone you feel, God is relentlessly pursuing you—even in your brokenness.
